Water Pump went out at 101 thousand, so I replaced it and the belt, was surprised how good the belt still looks at that high mileage.

Thanks to Diesel Pap, I gave him a call to see if there was a easy way to do it, dam it was tight with my big hands, but got it done, but it was like denutting a bull while he still in the mother.

The belt I had done in 10 minutes, that OEM tool from Auto zone was a lifesaver,I removed the upper passenger side fan shroud nut, that let the long arm from the OEM tool to lock on the rod the nut came off of and hold it for you.

I heard a few people remove the tensioner to get the belt off and back on, had no trouble getting the old one out knife edge, but the new one was to tight, so with the took released I put the belt between the pulley and the block, then got up and locked the tensioner, that put the belt inside the pulley, then it was a piece of cake.

 

Yep easy to do, mine went at 110k
